I just started off from the coalsack nebula, a mere 500 or so ly out from the bubble, then just kept going.
Eventually I started noticing a couple of stars get more and more noticeable as went, didn't give much more thought but after another 1000ly they had separated into 4 or so distinct stars.
I decided to head for them.
Almost with every few hundred light years they would get a bit bigger, and after another thousand light years there was more of them as well.
Still had another two thousand or so light years before I actually got there and it turned out to be a field of white giants.
As for first time out you could try heading for barnard's loop, the flame nebula etc looks really cool, and yes it's a well visited nebula since it's just about one thousand light years away but it's also the most impressive one I have seen (it's actually four (I think) separate nebula's that look like one from our little bubble)
Take your time, never worry to much about destination and take lot's of pictures (cause the money is shit)
